We, good people

We've been watching lots of news. Lots of people disagreeing. Lots of people that didn't learn from history. Far too many people making excuses for other actions. Too many. There's a thing called character and values. Ethics. You cannot excuse someone for not having them. Everyone is accountable for their actions, regardless of who they are. Words matter. Leaders, journalists (which are the voice of freedom) learn to communicate. There's more then left and right. There's kind and unkind. There's unite and divisive. Don't excuse someone for poor behavior to protect your party. If you don't denounce, you agree. We, good people, must stand together, must stand for what is right and be aware not to repeat mistakes from our history.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King, Jr.
